About this album
The Golden Scarab is a bold and exploratory solo album from Ray Manzarek, best known as the Doors’ keyboard player. Issued in 1974, it moves beyond his band’s psychedelic rock into a looser blend of jazz-rock, blues-rock and improvisation, with instrumental passages that give his keyboards more room to roam. The record reflects Manzarek’s fascination with Eastern imagery, spiritual themes and free-flowing studio experimentation, making it one of his most distinctive post-Doors releases. For listeners drawn to adventurous 1970s rock that stretches towards jazz without losing its pulse, it remains a fascinating detour.
